Raindrops are our diamonds
This morning the raindrops were glistening like diamonds on my neighbour's acacia tree which reminded me of the children's song:
Jan Struther, 1901-1953
1. Daisies are our silver,
Buttercups our gold:
This is all the treasure
We can have or hold.
2. Raindrops are our diamonds
And the morning dew;
While for shining sapphires
We've the speedwell blue.
3. These shall be our emeralds
Leaves so new and green;
Roses make the reddest
Rubies ever seen.
4. God, who gave these treasures
To your children small,
Teach us how to love them
And grow like them all.
5. Make us bright as silver:
Make us good as gold;
Warm as summer roses
Let our hearts unfold.
6. Gay as leaves in April,
Clear as drops of dew
God, who made the speedwell,
Keep us true to you.
